Hook is within DYK limits and is interesting. Article is just long enough and new enough. I suggest adding a fair use photo of the logo (not required for this DYK). No apparent copyvios and the article seems well sourced. Earwig pings titles of organizations but I didn't see any blatant plagiarism. Good to go as soon as QPQ is satisfied.
